Where are you from, and what race are you?

[Labatt]

Were all human, and Im 150% sure there are no racist ppl on this board!:)

I've noticed alot of people from India are here.

Im way up in Canada. And Im punjabi! East Indian.

How bout the rest of ya?

[pesilat]

Louisville, Kentucky, US

Don't know why you'd care, but I'm mostly Dutch and German with some Welsh and Scottish thrown in for good measure and negligible smatterings of lineage from other regions in western Europe.

But, regardless of where my ancestors came from, I'm American through and through. Which basically means that I'm a linguistically impaired rude SOB of a Yank ;) Actually, I try to be anything *but* that ... but I know it's a common image evoked (sometimes in jest) by the words, "I'm an American through and through." :)

[morphus]

"We are all human beings" a great man once said.

But my particular main course is Welsh, with a side salad of Irish with Scandinavian to follow. :D

[fluffydoc]

12.5% irish, 12.5% south african, 75% scottish.
Always lived in Scotland (not part of England as many of our overseas friends often think!).

[gingerninja]

100% Scottish, with a Edinburgh/English accent, a German/French/Norwegian Surname and a drivers licence with Germany as my country of birth.

So go figure that one out:D

If theres none already, there will be one now:D

[JediMasterChris]

I'm 100%! African.


Well actually I don't know what I am. My parents are both American though. Not sure what they are, I am really dark and have narrow eyes and I fairly tall. Dark brown/a little reddish hair. But because of my obsession with InuYasha I dyed my hair white. I don't really know what nationality I am. I like to think of myself as a human and I leave it at that.:D

[JediMasterChris]

Technically I am a caucasian though.

[Jazman]

hey! not much clue what I am! a little native american "Indian" and not really sure what else.

[LeggyLass]

Well I am an American, which can mean a lot of things, but I am grateful to live in this beautiful land and the state of Colorado!! :D

I'm Slavic, English, German and Dutch. This combo comes out so that I look Slavic with the fair English skin, learned German and took after the Dutch engineering...hmmmmm...gotta love those family connections!! :)

But all of these things make up me :D

[Knight_Errant]

Nope, no racists here. If they were, they'd get their dick heads kicked in by some groovy chinese guy!

I'm from wales, usually in wales, but my location changes a lot. If you want race, I suppose I'm 1/3 naturalised flemish saxon 1/3 irish and welsh and 1/3 northern english- a wierd old mix.
Some would call me a hippie, and I don't mind that and I'd be proud of that but I've never really been one, more a kind of travelling kickboxer. That's why I call myself the knight errant...

[YODA]

Romania

Horse-drawn carts jostle for space against fast cars whose drivers are talking money on mobile phones; farm workers watch Baywatch courtesy of satellite dishes standing in the rear yard of their medieval farmhouse. Romania is clawing itself forward, slowly and surely sloughing off the remnants of the Ceausescu era. The transition is not easy, and for some it's downright painful. In the middle of the picturesque scenery and the headlong rush to development where the money is fast and the suits Armani, parts of the country are being left out. But in 1996 a neocommunist government was voted out and replaced by one talking about genuine reform, so the country is not without hope.

Romania has majestic castles, medieval towns, great hiking and wildlife, and the cheap skiing of much of the 'undiscovered' former Eastern Bloc. And the Romanians, despite being among Europe's poorest people, generally haven't cottoned on to the scams and ploys so common elsewhere to separate travellers from their money. You'll be floored at how different Romania is, but you'll almost certainly see signs that it's chasing the dreams of the rest of the West.

Area: 237,500 sq km (91,700 sq mi)
Population: 22.5 million
Capital city: Bucharest (pop 2 million)
People: Romanians (90%), Hungarians (7%), Roma (Gypsies) (2%), Germans, Ukrainians
Language: Romanian, Hungarian (in Transylvania)
Religion: Romanian Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Protestant
Government: Republic
President: Ion Iliescu
Prime Minister: Adrian Nastase

GDP: US$90 billion
GDP per head: US$4000
Annual growth: -8%
Inflation: 40%
Major industries: Agriculture, manufacturing
Major trading partners: EU (esp.Germany, Italy, France), USA, Turkey

'Attempted' being the operative word.
No-one ever said Funny had to be that Funny (Or did they?)

Actually, my immediate answer formed in my head to reading the question in the title was exactly the same as Wong Fei Hung's, and was thought of seriously not as an attempted joke.

Filipino of mixed heritage. 1/4 Chinese, 1/8 Spanish and the rest indo / malay.

Born and raised as a Roman Catholic in Manila. My grandmother is from the far North of the country while my grandfather is from one of the provinces in the Southern muslim countries.

On the subject of race, I think some of the people here are too PC whipped and are terrified of the "race" issue. I think the thread is valid. we all come from various countries, cultures and races. We should be celebrating diversity and teaching each other about what wonderful difference we have. By putting the idea of racism ahead of the natural concept of race, isn't that an acceptance and acknowledgement of racism itseld?

[YODA]

Interesting and balanced view J :D

I like it

[Knight_Errant]

J's right. I studied english language, and PC language was one of the modules. I've seen all the arguments, and I still think that language is not and cannot be inherently racist. It's a smokescreen for racists, created for people who don't think it's acceptable to say 'n****rs have got the same rights as anyone else' but would have no objection to someone arguing for 'segregation in modern society'...

I'm pretty much your average caucasian mongrel. My dad's side of the family has lived here in Canada since the late 1700s/early 1800s, (they origianlly came from Ireland) but with all of the immigration to North America at that time I'm sure my family has mingled with a bunch of other races since then.
My mom moved here to Canada from Pennsylvania, and I think her side of the family has been living in the States for quite some time too...I think they are originally from Scotland.

I'm "mostly" caucasion- majority of my ancestors coming from Ireland, England. The not so mostly (I'm like one- sixteenth) part is Native American Indian- not exactly sure what tribe- possibly Cherokee. Born and raised in U.S.A, and same with the majority of my ancestors since the 1600- 1700's. Currently live in West Virginia, but I've moved around a lot, so I can't really call any state my "home".

[nekogami13]

Where am I from? My mother and father. Prefer to focus on where I am going.

What race? Why silly that is easy, I am 100% homo sapien.

[Romantic]

My nationality is American, but my ethnicity is mostly Han Chinese, even though not entirely. My ancestors were from Southern China mainly from Guangdong Province, in and around Canton. However, I do believe I have some Mongolian blood in me because many people think I am Filipino and many more say I do not look Chinese. When the Mongols invaded China and established the Yuan Dynasty, I believe they had children with many Han Chinese women, so it is possible that I might have some Mongolian blood in me. Plus my sister has natural brown hair, as do the women from my mother's side of the family. Hence I do believe I am not one hundred percent anything, but a mixture of different ethnicities, which defines most of us today.
